“…Thus, increases in the nausea scores in our tests with static stimuli could have been a result of the interactions of several parameters: reading duration (40 min), mild optical screen distortion (flickering and pincushion distortion), text layout (e.g., no margins and type size), the movement of the headset relative to the head during the task, and dark laboratory illumination (e.g., [21,4,39,7,27,26,45,67]). …”

“…As with other electronic displays, near-to-eye displays (NEDs) may induce eyestrain and viewing discomfort [19,68,45]. Because of unnatural viewing conditions, the use of NEDs can also lead to measurable physiological changes in visual functioning [38,37,39,20,22].…”

“…For example, a long exposure duration [44,45,46,47,48], a large field-of-view [48,49,24], and task-related features such as visual simulation of motion [50,51,52,36,] may induce several sickness-related symptoms.…”

“…Nausea symptoms have been previously associated with sensory conflicts, which usually occur when a person is watching a moving scene, but they may also occur under static stimuli viewing conditions [23,21,36,33,45,50]. Thus, increases in the nausea scores in our tests with static stimuli could have been a result of the interactions of several parameters: reading duration (40 min), mild optical screen distortion (flickering and pincushion distortion), text layout (e.g., no margins and type size), the movement of the headset relative to the head during the task, and dark laboratory illumination (e.g., [21,4,39,7,27,26,45,67]).…”

“…Thus, the increased symptom scores, particularly in the second half of the reading session, were likely a result of interactions among the following factors: the nature of the task, optical characteristics and distortion of the display, headset fit, use context, and duration of the reading session [4,7,10,21,22,25,30,32,41,44,45,48,54].…”

Reading e-books on a near-to-eye display: Comparison between a small-sized multimedia display and a hard copy

Eighty-seven participants read an e-book either from a near-to-eye display, a small-size display or a hard copy. Eyestrain, visually induced motion sickness, changes in visual functioning, user experience, and the essential optical parameters of the reading equipment were evaluated. The results indicate that reading from a hard copy was the most comfortable experience. All near-to-eye displays induced eyestrain and sickness symptoms, but the magnitude of these symptoms varied according to the device. The adverse symptoms were related to problems with the display optics and design, text layout, headset fit, use context, and individual differences. Keywords: near-to-eye display, small-sized display, eyestrain, discomfort, readingReading text is a complex and highly automated process during which readers extract visual information from the page and comprehend the text's meaning [1,2]. Depending on a reader's motivations, the text type, the media format, and the context, the process of reading varies between and within readers [3]. For example, reading a printed book may be an engrossing, effortless, and relaxing experience that lasts for hours, whereas reading the same text in electronic format may be a consciously demanding process because of poor text legibility and technology-related limitations [3,4,5,2,74,75]. As a result, the reader may experience frustration, fatigue, eyestrain or visual discomfort, which could affect reading-related practices [6,7].

A study of monocular near‐to‐eye display positions for a navigation task

Wearable computers with near‐eye‐displays (NEDs) are expected to be fundamental components of the future smart systems, for which several companies are concurrently working. NEDs are designed and commercially available with different display locations; at the top, middle, or bottom of one of the eyes. It is not known how the location of displays and the nature of tasks would influence the comfort of users. In this study, the effects of display positions and the number of turns on visual discomfort of wearing NEDs during navigation tasks were evaluated. The experiment considered four display positions and three number of turns for 2D maze navigation tasks. The eye movement data were recorded by using a Tobii eye tracker, and then blink rates, eye movement velocities, saccades rates, and subjective ratings were analyzed. The results have shown that the blink rates, saccades rate, and eye movement velocities were sensitive to the positions of the displays, where the top‐right was marginally more comfortable display position. However, subjective ratings did not show significant differences. It is concluded that monocular NEDs can be used for shorter duration navigation tasks, with a reasonably acceptable level of visual comfort.
